Welcome to the Paradox Community Wish List - Page 2. To have your own wishes added to the list click here.


Miscellaneous
  • Character Support
    • Unicode support (replace table languages with one that supports everything)
  • Database Engine
    • Something besides the BDE™
    • A farfetched wish : a cleanroom rewrite of the product to completely separate the great GUI and ObjectPAL® functionality from the aging and limiting BDE™ layer, in order to boost Paradox® as a practical DB front-end (that can sell well) that can double as a good local engine (that doesn't sell too well with Open Source SQL servers available).
    • Much larger limits on things like max size of table, max size of db, max no of fields in table, etc. (i.e. can the BDE)
  • Interaction with Operating System
    • Paradox adds its file commands to the Windows Explorer, I think these should be on a 'Paradox' submenu for clarification.

      For Tables: the word Table is added where a command might conflict, 'table delete' verses delete. However 'Add" is not 'Table Add'. I think putting these on a paradox submenu and calling then 'table add', 'table subtract', etc. is less confusing to the users. Besides, choosing delete is a windows delete, the user thinks the file is gone, but it leaves the table's family files. Lots of examples where this is confusing to non-paradox users.
  • Platforms
    • Paradox Runtime -type plug-in for web browsers
    • Paradox for Linux
    • Paradox for OS/2
  • Purchase Options
    • Localized versions
    • Unbundle Paradox® 10 and later from WPO: as a reseller, I see this bundling daily as a major cause for users not upgrading, which eventually means less business for Corel, less developers, and less life in Paradox®.
